My Top 2 online survey sites (Lightspeed v Global Test Market)

First of all let me explain to you what an online survey
site is. An online survey site conducts market research for various organisations.
By being a member of an online survey site you will receive survey invitations
sent to your email account. If you complete the whole survey you will get the
chance to express your views and you will compensated for doing so. Don’t
expect to get rich by taking online surveys, but you should be able to make
quite a bit of spare cash.

OK , let me get on with telling you a bit about my top 2 online
survey sites.

Global Test
Market

I’ve been completing online surveys with Global Test Market
for around 2 or 3 year now. Over this time I have cashed out with them a couple
of times, but I could have easily cashed out more if I completed more of their
surveys. I would think it would be quite easy to cash out at least once every 2
months if all surveys are completed.

Becoming a member with them is quite straightforward. Go to
their join page, and fill in a few basic details about yourself such as your
gender, age and where you live. Once this is done, they will send you a confirmation
email and by clicking on the link inside this email you will now be a member of
Global Test Market.

After becoming a member, surveys should start arriving to
your email account within the first week. At the start of each survey the reward
and approximate time length will be stated. Most surveys seem to be worth
between 10 to 100 market points. 1000 market points can be redeemed for a $50 dollar
cheque (or a cheque in your local currency). There is a page for redeeming your
market points in your account, and your cheque should arrive in around 4 weeks.

They will send you load’s of surveys invitations each week. However,
you won’t always qualify for each survey that you are sent – don’t take this
too personally. Sometimes they will looking for a certain type of person, such
as regular drinkers or people that ride a motorbikes. On the whole most surveys
take around 10 to 20 minutes to complete and the reward is for completing them
is very good.

On the whole Global Test Market is one of the top 2 online
survey sites around. They send you regular surveys with good compensation for
your time and effort, and the payment process is smooth and reliable. Let me
tell you a bit now about my 2nd top online survey site.

Which is tyour favourite online survey site?

My second top online survey site is Lightspeed. Becoming a member
with them is a little harder as you will have to click on one of their banners
to find their membership page. From here, the registration process is similar
to Global Test Market, and you will have to confirm your membership by clicking
on their confirmation email.

Once you are member of Lightspeed they will start sending
you surveys pretty much within the same week.
You can also see the available surveys in your members account. There
are also some extra surveys available about yourself and some mini-polls on
your members page. It is recommended that you fill these in as you will receive
more surveys.

Lightspeed surveys tend to be more about products (food and
drink items). On the plus side, you won’t get screened out of surveys as much
as Global Test Market. However, the surveys tend to take a little longer
(usually around 20 to 30 minutes) and the pay is a little less than Global Test
Market. As with Global Test Market there is a point reward system. Surveys are
worth between 50 and 300 points, and can be exchanged for a £3 Paypal payment
once you have reached 345 points. There are also lots of other ways to exchange
your Lightspeed points if you enter their shop.

My overall opinion of Lightspeed is that there are plenty of
surveys to take part in and you can make a fair amount of cash. However, the surveys
tend to be a little long and some of the questions are repetitive.

If you are looking for some more survey site panels to join then try searching for Paid to Review or Survey Money Maker.
